Rob Taylor-Ailes @robotrjt.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Isn't this retrospective change only retrospective to the point where the government loudly and clearly said "rules change from here, we just need to wait for the legislation to catch up". 080

Rob Taylor-Ailes @robotrjt.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I've often thought that any listing should be accompanied by a specific endowment (or contribution to a national endowment), the proceeds of which can be used for the maintenance of the listed building (or listed buildings in general). 110
